Well, we want to thank everybody for listening to the podcast Cannabis Talk one on one on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And before we get into the show, I want to ask you off something. If you could spend millions or even billions of dollars on research for cannabis, like, where would you start? What brings us up is Canada was just given forty billion dollars in grants, right and the American cannabis industry was left out, of course of the loop for the research grants and credits who knows why, But not in Canada, where the government is utilizing everything from analytics labs to whatever they can do, to the ability to research and come up with novel treatment ideas. So my question is what would you focus on if you could do it?

And why?

And why?

Let's start with you, little brother, Mark Wasseran.

Let's start with you, little brother, Mark Wasseran.

What would you focus on if you could spend millions or billions of dollars on research?

What would you focus on if you could spend millions or billions of dollars on research?

You know, I would have to say right now, focus on how cannabis, CBD, THC, whatever the case may be, can fight the coronavirus because there are people out there who believe it. I mean, we know one, Kyle Turley, and I don't see how that's going down the wrong road because we have our indocannabinoid system, which helps with the immune system. And we know that using cannabis in all forms and whether it has THHC or CBD helps the indocannabinoid system. So that's where I think money like that should go into specific research for this. Right now, they're looking to do a vaccine, they're looking to figure out what's going on with this virus.

That's at one point, I remember your big brother saying that cannabis can cure the coronavirus. If that's not the words that came out of his mouth at one point, how do you feel about that?

That's at one point, I remember your big brother saying that cannabis can cure the coronavirus. If that's not the words that came out of his mouth at one point, how do you feel about that?

Now we've gon say that.

Now we've gon say that.

Well, how about this? How about this? There's been a recent article from the time of Israel. Now Israel's been testing cannabis for years, thirty thirty forty and they and right now at the so and so Medical Center I can't pronounce it's Hebrew, will begin administering medical cannabis to coronavirus patients in moderate condition as part of an experimental treatment. How's that. I think what we need to do is put forty billion dollars into the research that is being done in other countries already. So I mean it's I think studying it as a immune booster, studying it as a cure for cancer. I think it needs to be studied and test done and trials.

You could focus on one, though, and I agree with everything you're saying. I can't give you one, you know, it can never give you one exactly.

You could focus on one, though, and I agree with everything you're saying. I can't give you one, you know, it can never give you one exactly.

I mean it's it's so hard to do it. And don't hook get me wrong, I agree with you, but just for the sake of you mean, you don't one. I think that he would do it for which is beautiful right now. It's perfect timing, of course, and maybe a good stay. But no one disagrees with you.

No, you don't.

No, you don't.

You don't understand what I'm saying. I do you want to.

You don't understand what I'm saying. I do you want to.

What I'm saying is if you test it for the if you test it for the coronavirus, you're testing it and the testing is going to show a lot of different things. I'm not a scientist or biologist or or you know whatever the fuck these people do that just rocket scientists kind of people you know that that are doing the testing. So I think once they break it down to test it to test it for one thing, it's gonna be good for other things. That's my point.

You gave a great answer for the coronavirus. Is where you want your research? Your brother's tap dancing on everything. He can't give an exact answer. Blue, What would you use the money on if you could do research with it?

You gave a great answer for the coronavirus. Is where you want your research? Your brother's tap dancing on everything. He can't give an exact answer. Blue, What would you use the money on if you could do research with it?

Definitely I would use the research money for cancer. It's been a long, long struggle with cancer. I believe that there's been a lot of testing out there from people themselves that have said, you know, it helps with cancer, and so many different from skin cancer to lung cancers to you know, you know wherever it's at. And I, you know, my father passed away of cancer, So I think I would step right into the cancer market.

Yeah, and personally I'd like to go to the pain management of it. Weight loss loss would be great as well, as I've heard it work. But every time when I was stone, I wanted to eat more food and much.

Yeah, and personally I'd like to go to the pain management of it. Weight loss loss would be great as well, as I've heard it work. But every time when I was stone, I wanted to eat more food and much.

Yeah, have you looked at me lately? Have you seen me lately? I mean that's just a cop out.

Yeah, have you looked at me lately? Have you seen me lately? I mean that's just a cop out.

You don't need, Mark, And and part of your other reason is you don't want to be in the house with your family, so you do anything and everything to get out of there.

You don't need, Mark, And and part of your other reason is you don't want to be in the house with your family, so you do anything and everything to get out of there.

So my working out out outside as a plus for you.

Mark, I definitely do thirty minutes to day.

Has nothing to do with that. But our bodies are different by all means. So my point is that I would use that.

Joe alone, exactly know why you're taking me.

Joe alone, exactly know why you're taking me.

We're on the coronavirus, diet, shots fired, and the way you look and plus yeah, I'm just a little overweight, it's okay.

We're on the coronavirus, diet, shots fired, and the way you look and plus yeah, I'm just a little overweight, it's okay.

And helped me get my test done because I'm obedience and have diabetes, so I was able to get my desk out for you obedience. So my point is what I would use my money on, though, is for pain management, meaning I'd like to be able to help people and everybody in general say, like, you know, if you have a headache, if you have a shoulder pain, back ache, kind of like what you take advil and tie it off for same type of thing with an oil or you know, they say smoke. This just some type of research that gives better examples of how to use canvas rather than you should just use it. We're all saying you can use this for that, but give somebody the exact is what a lot of people need out there and what's gonna make them feel real comfortable and safe taking it. So I think the more research we get is gonna be great. And I love everybody's answers, and even yours, Craigs, as you say a bunch of things.

Humanity Well, Humanity Heroes. We've given out over nine thousand backpacks over the four years down in skid Row. That's where we operate the most disadvantaged, marginalized people, and we thought, well we can if we do backpacks, that's just a temporary thing. It's not really saving lives. What can we do to save lives? And we said, well face masks, and we go, okay, what kind of face masks? And we give them the really the paper ones and stuff. They're going to just disintegrate and they're not going to last very long. So we came up with these. We had this made here in California company in bria Ats Sports where I made it, and it's washable, reusable, and we'll save lives. So we gave about seventeen thousand of those. And at the same time, we also gave about seven hundred ninety five masks to Providence Saint Joseph's Hospital because regardless of your ability to pay, they will treat you. And we'll give about three thousand more masks. May eleventh, we're going out again and we're going to be handing them to firemen, policeman, EMT and hospitals as well.

And you've been through it since the beginning. I mean I said this earlier. You've been You've been at this longer than a lot of our followers and these millennials have been alive. What have you seen change from then until now?

Oh?

Oh?

Man, that's you know that mass. You see the man, your own nervous and all this stuff, and you try to keep your electric go low, doing whatever you can, and you're just basically live a very you know, surreptitious life, and you don't have a lot of contact with a whole lot of folks.

It's I always tell the younger, the younger generation that they don't really get it. I don't think they appreciate that. When I was I'm going to be close, I'm fifty eight, and when I was sixteen years forty something years ago, where I had let alone, not being in the growing part of her in the industry part of it. Back then I was a consumer where I had to go to purchase my cannabis, Oh my god. They have no idea. You know, even back in the medical they had no idea when when stores were quasi legal. So this is just amazing that if I thought when I was sixteen fifteen, whenever I started it, there would be a national holiday.

Well, not only that, it gives you the chills.

Well, not only that, it gives you the chills.

You know.

You know.

One of the things that that I think that that we'll we won't ever really get the feeling of is is growing up and knowing that cannabis is just like having a beer and it's not quite there, but it's going there.

One of the things that that I think that that we'll we won't ever really get the feeling of is is growing up and knowing that cannabis is just like having a beer and it's not quite there, but it's going there.

And with our with our you know, you know.

And with our with our you know, you know.

Philanthrophispists and that's out there, you know, putting in work and creating this you know, this whole uh you know machines that we're here doing. We're gonna get it to that level to where it's just like drinking alcohol or or you know, but even better, you know.

Did you have many ropes to jump. But we're big mic for that.

Did you have many ropes to jump. But we're big mic for that.

I mean, you know, because so many people at certain points wouldn't take money from the cannabis industry. And you're a company with advanced nutrients that helps make plants grow, so you make money not just off the cannabis industry, you make it off people who want to grow tomatoes, you know whatever. So how difficult what did it used to be compared to now? And now they're like, oh, you're helping Mike, oh.

Please, yeah, day and night difference. And one of the reasons that four years ago when we started this, didn't ask anybody. We just we just went down to skid Row and started handing out backpacks. And now we're accepted and you're not getting the pushback. Before, you know, city hall didn't necessarily want to, you know, talk about what we're doing and stuff. And now they're more open to it and seeing things.

And well, the funny part is in every city that has allows cannabis, there's always some kind of charitable thing or you got to pay some kind of other tax, and you know that that that's something that still has to be addressed over taxation.

And well, the funny part is in every city that has allows cannabis, there's always some kind of charitable thing or you got to pay some kind of other tax, and you know that that that's something that still has to be addressed over taxation.

Of Well, listen, let's talk about that what look, the fastest way to kill the black market would would be would be the guy Evin Newsom to just say, hey, listen, we're going to kill all the tax during the coronavirus on cannabis. And the reason I think that would be important is because it's safe cannabis. Well, what are the big differences between then and now? Way back then you were we were smoking pesticides and heavy metals and microtoxins and all kinds of stuff. Now we have clean product. Now people say, well, you shouldn't be smoking or whatever, but you could take an edible. And here's the thing. Cannabis is way less carcinogenic than than cigarettes are. And if you're gonna inhale and people are gonna do it anyways, you know they're not going to stop at least use safe product, especially because this respiratory problem with the coronavirus.

Yeah, I mean the state. I think the reason that it passed though, it just mean, really, what amounts to a sin tax is what's happening.

Yeah, I mean the state. I think the reason that it passed though, it just mean, really, what amounts to a sin tax is what's happening.

To put They put too much on too fast?

To put They put too much on too fast?

Well, yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm not a mathematician, I'm not an economist, but wouldn't you were wouldn't you rather get a little of a lot or a lot of almost nothing. I mean, it just doesn't make sense to me. Just the regular state sales news tax would go up, like, you know, more.

Than the marriv The black market is thriving, it's exponentially growing right now, right now, amazing, it's just like on fire right now because people don't want to pay that extra tax.

Than the marriv The black market is thriving, it's exponentially growing right now, right now, amazing, it's just like on fire right now because people don't want to pay that extra tax.

So essentially, when when you, uh, when the plant's growing and it starts to grow its branches, you know, we would crack one of the branches so that it would it would actually break it, and then it would create a not there. And what would happen is it was it would allow all the water being pulled from the roots to head towards that knot and then it would and that not would become pretty big, and it would create more flour at the end of it, because the more water and the food can get to the flower.

I've used advanced nutrients for years and and uh, you know, the big Bud and all the big bloom and and all the different products they have are pretty amazing guys. So there it is, and that's who's making waves. Craig tell us what's going on in cannabis news.

All right, let's get straight to it. I'm going to follow up real quick on his story before I get the one get to the one that I want to discuss today. Uh remember I talked about that case in Massachusetts where the governors shut down all the adult you shops but not the medical shops. Well guess what the adult use shops lost now, Yeah, basically based on it. It makes a little sense if you're taking the coronavirus seriously, because you can only be a citizen of Massachusetts in order to get your medical card. So if you if the adult use, people can come in from other states to go to an adult adult use shop. So if you have to get a you have to have a medical card, which means you need to be a citizen of that state. Therefore, it's gonna limit the amount of people coming into buy cannabis. And that's actually what happened, and that's why they lost. Onto the next door, It's just said the.

Logic there were why wouldn't you want to make more money from everyone coming in.

Logic there were why wouldn't you want to make more money from everyone coming in.

It's about the coronavirus, Joe, It's about the coronavirus. More more important is that California cannabis distributors are setting up a network to share info on firms that pay bills and don't pay bills. Wow, they're creating a blacklist. And this is while some distributors are actually closing right now. They're Look, you're looking at over get this number in receivables. Everybody know what receivables are. What a business is owed? One hundred million dollars easily, easily one hundred million dollars in receivables are our.

That's total, total. Yeah, because that's everyone. That can't be one company.

That's total, total. Yeah, because that's everyone. That can't be one company.

That's and and what that and what that's doing is it's causing companies like the Snore based Pacific Expediters they just had to close their doors. They had to close their doors. And they have an outstanding debt of at least a half a million dollars for the startup of the company. And this is due to people not paying their bills. And also they indicate, the CEO indicated that it's also based on the ridiculous over regulation and how hard it is for any cannabis business to be profitable.

This might be good, you know, Craig that that the taxes and things like that that are owed aren't paid, because it'll show if there's multiple people, uh, you know, not paying them, it's gonna come to a point where they're gonna realize that they've overtaxed it.

This might be good, you know, Craig that that the taxes and things like that that are owed aren't paid, because it'll show if there's multiple people, uh, you know, not paying them, it's gonna come to a point where they're gonna realize that they've overtaxed it.

Well, I'm not I'm not sure. I mean, that's that's not one hundred percent of the problem. I mean, it's a huge, huge part of the problem is the over taxation and regulatory costs. But it's also I mean, so imagine the over regulation, taxation and regulatory costs coupled with not getting paid, right, I mean, I mean, it's it's just ridiculous. So, I mean, I just thought that was interesting to hear that that, you know, and it's funny too because they must be they must be getting legal information which I haven't looked into regarding. You know, they're gonna put people on blast and they're gonna create a they're gonna create a they're gonna create a blacklist that says don't buy from them, they're not gonna pay.

Grower out there.

Maybe they'll hire George as well to help them start growing. But with High Times opening up two flagship retail stores in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, this is huge for them because you know, currently eleven states right now you can you know, have recreational weed. But they're right now going to get this brand and I believe once they have this type of brand, and by the cultivation from Humboldt out there, they're going to clean house. I mean, they should be able to make an amazing product. As for those who don't know, the Trifecta out in California, Humboldt County has been notoriously known for making some of the best weed ever period because of the way the weather is there and it's mostly grown outdoor and because of the weather.

But either way, like he's such a dope grower that what High Times is doing is buying in a great area for great growers. Now, the funny thing about this that I find a little gray is that you know, High Times is known for their big cups and this and that, and if they're gonna start producing such great product, it feels funny if one of their you know, subsidiary companies, that's one of their product lines is in their own cups and you know, so that's the one like, oh, this one wins, that one wins, but it.
